Practical LawConferences

I am the Chief Compliance Officer for Thomson Reuters. As CCO, I lead the Company’s global, enterprise-wide compliance efforts, including with regards to Anti-bribery & corruption, Privacy, Business ethics, Sanctions and trade control issues. I am the Legal function representative on the Risk Committee and drive the ERM process, working with Risk Committee chairs, Deirdre Stanley & Neil Masterson. Since May 2016 I am also the General Counsel of TR’s Enterprise Centre in Baar Switzerland and a member of the ET&O leadership team, providing oversight of the legal support for TRGR and ET&O and acting as a director and board secretary for TRGR.

From July 1, 2013, I was the General Counsel Europe and Asia for Thomson Reuters Financial & Risk based in London. I also sat on the F&R Investment Committee and oversee M&A activities for F&R globally.

My career with Thomson Reuters spans over 10 years in roles that include General Counsel of Thomson Financial and General Counsel, Americas of the Markets and later Financial & Risk business.

Prior to joining Thomson Financial, I was a partner at Morrison & Foerster and co-head of the firm’s global M&A practice. I was outside M&A counsel to The Thomson Corporation on many transactions, starting with the acquisition of West Publishing in 1996 and spent 10 years on the Reuters account while growing up as a lawyer at Weil, Gotshal & Manges. My practice focused on complex mergers and acquisitions, and federal securities regulation. I also have substantial experience in public offerings, debt and equity financings, restructurings, internal investigations and regulatory compliance matters.
I received my J.D., cum laude, from Fordham University School of Law, where I was a member of the Law Review, and my B.A., cum laude, from New York University, where I was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. I worked full time through both college and law school. I am a native New Yorker.
